Bike storage

[Grannygrinder]

Whatever you do don't buy a metal shed from Argos, they may be cheap but they are nigh on impossible to waterproof properly :?
I might weigh mine in

Mine are mostly in the garage, and a couple are in the shed! I would keep them in the house, but she says NO!
She doesn't know how lucky she is!! She would have a heart attack if she saw some of your photo's showing bikes in the house.
And WOW, that garage in the Netherlands!! That really is something. A different league to my humble one.

Packed my retro rides up for the winter today, in my newly purchased bike shed.
They're too nice to ruin in the claggy conditions!

I've a modern bike for that! It's also my 'I'm all shiny and modern, so steal me first mr chav' decoy.....

The poor Overburys mate :shock:, It would be inside if it were mine

I feel you have neglected it and it needs a blanket at the very least

She's just been cleaned and oiled before being put away, and I'm sure I wont be able to resist a ride one frosty winters day, so she wont be too neglected

One in the kitchen, one in the hall, one in the library. One on bike hooks over the garage door, one balanced against the garage door, four hung from butchers hooks in the wall [Claas Ohlsen £3.29, part number40-7221]. I can fit 4 in the space where my tumble dryer used to be- about 8" apart if I twist the stem through 90degrees and twist the bars so the brake leavers point down, then take off the nearside crank. I'm planning to make a kind of wooden structure, it's hard to describe but it will be storage above the hung up bikes that will have hooks in to use as a bike workshop stand, and also act as a storage place for yet another bike.
Uncompleted frames go in the cupboard under the stairs.

One at a mates in Leeds, one in storage at my parents, 4 frames in boxes in the basement of my flat in Leeds, 1 bike at work, 6 bikes locked up in the car park of my apartment block, 1 in the hallway, 6 frames under the stairs, wheels in the airing cupboard.

I've got 5 in the shed plus Mrs Bob's, a sacrificial old lump of BSO "locked" up outside the shed, and when I helped my bestest mate move from his little flat to a 3 bedroom house I said , what are you going to do with 3 bedrooms? he said, "1 to sleep in, 1 to use as a gym and 1 for errr errrmmm... I .... don't... know" At which point I claimed it as a carpeted, heated, secure store room 4 bikes in there at the moment, plus there's random frames and parts scattered here, there and everywhere.

I've got a small German garage that's only big enough for a small euro car, my Nissan pickup truck would be a tight fit so my bikes and shop stuff are in there. Six bikes reside there and the other five are on stands in my apartment. When I get the other two frames in I may have to rethink my bike storage.

All done:

What a stiring sight!

Special post for hanging bikes off as a bicycle work stand, Even with my keen interest in Law n' Order I was surprised that it looked so gibbet like when it was finished!

Frame demonstrating the work stand part.

And from a distance.
I'm quite proud of that!
